== L4D2 Hammer Editor error on 64-bit after upgrading from 32-bit ==
== Uploading Images / validating account question ==


I fixed the problem I had regarding not being able to start the Hammer Editor in L4D2 and later, check the [[Game Directory]] page and see how I fixed it. --[[User:Breakin&#39; Benny|Breakin&#39; Benny]] 09:32, 11 January 2012 (PST)

Hey, Mattshu, can you list me the maps that utilize the lightboxes? I would like to see if I could figure it out. Thanks--[[User:Kwp17pitts|Kwp17pitts]] 09:17, 20 January 2012 (PST)
I thought I had validated my email when I first made my account. I noticed that you cleaned up the CS:GO "creating a mini map page" that I created and started working on with my friend Liam (Loothelion). I'd like to continue  writing that page and add some helpful reference images. Do you have any advice or can you point me to someone who might be able to help me figure this out?
:The map I extracted that from is on '''ep2_outland_04.bsp'''. Many maps have them, you can't miss it. Just look for a random box outside of the map with an env_cubemap and light entity. &mdash;[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 09:25, 20 January 2012 (PST)
::Thanks--[[User:Kwp17pitts|Kwp17pitts]] 10:07, 20 January 2012 (PST)
:::Ok, what I'm thinking is this could be set for spacfic stationary models/surfaces to keep the reflections from changing. So everything within a area don't change suddenly when the player gets to the next cubemap. Bear in mind this is a guess due to the fact that the decompilers are not perfect.--[[User:Kwp17pitts|Kwp17pitts]] 11:06, 31 January 2012 (PST)
:::: I believe this was done as a trick to avoid cubemap seams in the antlion tunnels by creating a single generic cubemap that could be used for the whole level. --[[User:JeffLane|JeffLane]] 15:53, 31 January 2012 (PST)
::::: Oh, that makes sense. Come to think of it, I really didn't see any env_cubemap entities throughout the tunnels. I thought it had something to do with the light's color of the tunnel surface, because one direction has that yellow gloss, and the other has that purple gloss. Changing the light entity color didn't change the actual color in the tunnels, which sparked my curiosity. Thanks to both of you. &mdash;[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 23:55, 31 January 2012 (PST)


== HUD Timer ==
- Nick


Hi ! You look like an expert on HUD and programing about that. I want to introduce in the HUD of my mod, a timer, like Challenges in Portal 1. But not for a challenge and bonus maps, just to see how many time the player stays in a map. Can you help me ? --[[User:Almos|Almos]] 12:38, 15 April 2012 (PDT)
:I can't personally help you, I'm just another contributor. Since you say you already validated your email, this is an odd occurrence. But a little bit of research tells me that to be an autoconfirmed user, your account must be at least '''four''' days old with at least '''ten''' previous edits. I could be wrong, however; not all wikis may have the same protocol. I'd try going with that, and if all else fails, try asking an active administrator ([[User talk:JeffLane|JeffLane]]) for help. Best of luck. &mdash;[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 20:13, 26 July 2013 (PDT)
:Sorry, but I have no experience in modifying Source programming, let alone modifying the HUD. Flattered though, nonetheless. I'd help but I'm not even sure which direction to point you in. What I would do is dig through the challenge files for the timer and learn about it, perhaps. &mdash;[[User:Mattshu|Mattshu]] 11:22, 16 April 2012 (PDT)
 
::No problem. Challenge files are difficult to decode. But I have time. Thanks anyway. --[[User:Almos|Almos]] 13:37, 16 April 2012 (PDT)

Uploading Images / validating account question

I've received the following error when looking at the "How to upload an image" page on the wiki.

Permission error The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Autoconfirmed users, Administrators. Return to Main Page.

I thought I had validated my email when I first made my account. I noticed that you cleaned up the CS:GO "creating a mini map page" that I created and started working on with my friend Liam (Loothelion). I'd like to continue writing that page and add some helpful reference images. Do you have any advice or can you point me to someone who might be able to help me figure this out?

I can't personally help you, I'm just another contributor. Since you say you already validated your email, this is an odd occurrence. But a little bit of research tells me that to be an autoconfirmed user, your account must be at least four days old with at least ten previous edits. I could be wrong, however; not all wikis may have the same protocol. I'd try going with that, and if all else fails, try asking an active administrator (JeffLane) for help. Best of luck. —Mattshu 20:13, 26 July 2013 (PDT)
Thanks. I'll look into it. Also I appreciate the quick response time.--Nicky Da B 20:21, 26 July 2013 (PDT)
I check in to the wiki at least once every couple days. This is my second home. :P —Mattshu 20:35, 26 July 2013 (PDT)
